Singing in the Rain

[dramaprincess31]

I love Alabama thunderstorms in the summer. It'll be a beautiful day: clear, blue skies. But you know its coming. You feel the mugginess weighing down the air, there's some tension, a heaviness about it. Then the clouds roll in, and it comes without warning. Big, fat droplets that fall down in sheets. So heavy that you look like you've jumped in

Me too! I went with my dad to take lightning pictures on top of shades mountain and it was so incredible. Something about it is awe inspiring!

english summer rain

sidenote: English Summer Rain is actually a song by Placebo.

I felt that British rain has its own place. It certainly lacks the power and force of a Southern thunderstorm (although I have no idea what a Southern thunderstorm is like) but at the same time, the smoky muted grey and brown world of Oxford in one of those little showers seems to put life into a certain perspective.

It frames the world, so to speak. People would be waiting in line for a bus or just wandering aimlessly down the street, heads down and silent, but now and again, you'd see a flash of colour, or a burst of wild laughter that just happened to break through the shroud. Somehow, it makes things more significant.

Personally, I rather liked the subtle personality of an English summer shower.

(P.S.: I'll even argue about the rain.)

i miss you both
well all of you
i haven't heard any of your voices in the longest time

my user name seems perfect for this entry
and i must say i defiantly love the rain in oxford
i would just get out my umbrella and wander around looking at things
everything looked different in the rain
almost more mysterious
i could just be in my own world thinking
i do think i'll have to come and see a southern storm sometime before i pass judgment

Love
~Tori

PS i love your icon

that was one thing i didnt like about Boston, it would be dreary and rainy all day even at the beach

Now that I think about it, Southern rainstorms actually give me energy instead of just make me depressed. Let's see a British drizzle do that!

P.S. No offense meant to Britain, I like it there, just not the rain...
